About the Author:

Paul Dickson is the author of more than forty books, including The Joy of Keeping Score, The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary, Baseball's Greatest Quotations, and Baseball: The Presidents' Game. In addition to baseball, his specialties include Americana and language. He lives in Garrett Park, Maryland.

From Library Journal:
According to Mead ( Two Spectacular Seasons, LJ 2/1/90) and Dickson ( Paul Dickson's Baseball Dictionary, LJ 3/15/89), every U.S. President except Rutherford B. Hayes had a connection with baseball or one of the earlier versions of the game. The authors assert that both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln played some form of the game. They also detail the associations of later chief executives, in the form of playing, attending opening games, etc. The authors even include Richard Nixon's all-star picks. This picture-packed collection of White House anecdotes is fun reading. Recommended for most sports collections.
